This in turn leads to enhanced reaction times. According to Anna Alkozei, one of the lead authors of this study, “exposure to blue light (like LED light) is almost similar to basking under sunlight, which leads to improved alertness and enhanced performance on response time tasks.” All in all, if you exposure yourself to at least 30 minutes of blue LED light each day, your cognitive task performance may enhance.

Dynamic LED Grow Light: A new devices has been introduced to farmers which would allow them to test out different lighting applications on their crops.
